A few months ago, a friend of mine who was obviously tired of my handbag fetish, posed a question to me..... What is your status bag? What is the handbag to end all handbags. What is the bag you want so bad that you say THIS will be my last bag. I won't need ANY other purse after this one? The bag you've only dreamed about but, you know when you have his bag you can exhale and say to yourself, I have arrived.....in style (-:
So the first thing that flew out of my mouth before thinking was OMG Monogram canvas Louis Vuitton luggage, no no no no no not just the 55 keepall or even the carry all. OH No No NO, we go hard or go home. L-U-G-G-A-G-E!!! Monogram Canvas Pégase 60, Monogram Canvas Sirius 70, Cruiser bag for makeup, Boite Flacons, Monogram Canvas Deauville to carry on, then I stopped and thought about it. While I wanted all these things they were just things and none had a strong sentimental value. They were just wants not needs. I'd quickly grow tired being able to only use my last designer accessory for travel. So I sat and thought back as far as I could and tried to remember to how I saw myself as an adult when I was about 10 years old. And it came to me, blurry at first then very clear....fuchsia cashmere cardigan, huge black aviator shades, very glossed lips, pearl necklace and wait, wait a second, whats that around my shoulder.........GOT it....OF COURSE!!! EXTRA-Large Chanel Caviar Quilted handbag with chain strap!!!! Hellooooooo! So there it is. Not just any bag, but, my bag fantasy. My bag to end all bags, serious enough that I would never want for another for as long as I live. Strong, Classy, Simple, Elegant yet large enough to say if you don't open the front door I'm going to kick down the back. The bag that rings the silent door bell of life and lets you know, I have arrived. so without further adu, I present to you not just a handbag, but an invitation to my future.
Everyday is an occasion when this is your armpiece. The perfect bag "The Bag" can be both polished and practical and show who you are. Special is standard.
